Look at all that healthiness! Now, you can see why I am so excited to share this SUPER easy recipe with you! I cook this root up and mash it like mashed potatoes, and it turns into an awesome side dish that has a sweet and salty taste to it, and makes me want to eat it all day long. Let’s get to it!

MASHED CELERIAC

Ingredients: Makes 1 serving

1 small to medium sized celery root

olive oil

garlic powder

sea salt

pepper

Directions

1.) First, you want to use a knife to chop off the top and bottom of the root, then use your knife to peel off the rough edges of the root (basically like peeling a potato, but you have to use a knife because these are so rough around the edges). Next, chop the celeriac into small chunks. Place in a medium sized sauce pan and cover with water. bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the celeriac is quite tender. About 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.

2.) Place the cooked celeriac back in the pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper. Use a masher to mash the celeriac to desired consistency.

3.) Transfer to a bowl, and garnish with some of the leaves from the root, if desired.
